Have to give it to Nintendo: Whatever I expected the new villain to be, it sure wasn't someone who reframes the whole franchise even more than Demise did.
The Age of the Zonai is according to the Information we got in Interviews not Pre Skyward Sword or Post Skyward Sword, they are like... Post-Everything we have seen as the player
King: "Zelda! Thank Hylia you are safe! Link, once again, I owe you a debt of gratitude for saving my daughter and the kingdom." Link: "Actually, your highness, Zelda saved me." King: "Oh that's very funny, Link." Link: "What is?" King: "😦 Wait what? 😳 You're serious?"
So basically at the beginning there was nothing at all, a place where Null resided in, then the Goddesses came and created everything with their Allmighty Power
Question: Why did Null wait until the foundation of Hyrule to enact its plans, instead of carrying them out as soon as the Golden Goddesses departed the Zelda world? What kept it from plunging the world into Chaos?
@@javiervasquez625 Null was trying for a long, long time to drag the world back into darkness, it was just that the Tris kept thwarting him. the Force crystals you find around the overworld were places were previous portals were sealed long before the game took place.
@@scribeyesteak8758 Yes, i know, but still... why did it have to take so long? There's definetly a few thousands of years in between the goddesses creating the universe, Hylia watching the world, Demise showing up and Hyrule getting founded, giving Null a LOT of time to wait for the portals to open. The only explanation i can come up with is that Nintendo just didn't care about a believable explanation for Null's convenient appearance in this specific Era, as their only interest was to make a game focused on the echo mechanic.

@@Gazing-09 Still hold a burning grudge for Dark Matter kicking my butt, and being defeated about 17 or 25 times against Dark Matter…but I lucky enough I beat Dark Matter.
I'm happy this game added to the overall lore of the series. It was better than TotK in that regard. The Golden Goddesses actually *speaking* to us directly for the first time is very cool. A lot of people thought that the Golden Goddesses disappeared and left the Light World in the care of Hylia. But nope, they're still there, watching events unfold and intervening when they deem appropriate. I guess they just don't really want to talk to Link for whatever reason, lol. This is the *first time* we've actually seen the Triforce split apart after a failed Triforce Wish with our own eyes, afaik. We actively see that Null's virtues are unbalanced and it responding by splitting apart to house itself in specific people. In OoT, it happened off-screen when Link was asleep in the Temple of Light. In WW, it already happened and Link has to assemble the Triforce of Courage. In TP, it happened in the past with the timeline split. In ALBW, the Triforce was already split and Link was bestowed the Triforce of Courage by the Sages. We already know what happens when someone with unbalanced virtues attempts to wish on the Triforce, but seeing it happen in front of us was cool to see. Seeing another member of the Demon Tribe with Null is very cool too. I think the 'void of chaos' before the Golden Goddesses made the world, and where all demons come from, can be lost in translation for many English speakers. We've known for a while that's where they come from (like Demise, Malladus, Bellum and probably Majora) and it is touched upon in OoT, SS and ALBW to some extent, but the English translation tends to shy away from the primordial 'void of chaos' and Demon Tribe lore aspects for whatever reason, giving English players misunderstandings about the cosmology of the series. Now that it is more front and centre with Echoes, it should be clearer for English-speakers to understand how the Zelda universe operates.
When do the Golden Goddesses *speak?* Also, didn't Bellum hail from a different dimension entirely to have been born in the same void from Hyrule's dimension? Finally, wasn't Malladus similar to Ganondorf by being an entity filled with hatred and selfish desire, leading to his transformation into a Demon King?
@@javiervasquez625 "When do the Golden Goddesses speak?" - When you finish the dungeons in the second half of the game. "Also, didn't Bellum hail from a different dimension entirely to have been born in the same void from Hyrule's dimension?" - Bellum is a demon that plagues the World of the Ocean King. He comes from the 'void of chaos' (or 'world of darkness' in Japanese) where demons originate from. This void isn't attached to any specific dimension like the Sacred Realm is, it's the sea of chaos that exists between dimensions (which are themselves pockets of order). In ALBW, Yuga retrieves Ganon from being sealed in the void in Lorule rather than Hyrule despite the fact he was sealed there, for example. "Finally, wasn't Malladus similar to Ganondorf by being an entity filled with hatred and selfish desire, leading to his transformation into a Demon King?" - Correct me if I'm wrong (I haven't played Spirit Tracks for years) but we don't conclusively know. All we know is that he was sealed in a long, ancient past by the Spirits of Good and that his spirit is fundamentally demonic. I said and assumed he 'comes from there' because we actually visit the 'world of darkness' in the form of the Dark Realm in that game, and also the fact that if he were destroyed his spirit would return there. He could ultimately originate from there like Demise and Ghirahim do, but I also suppose it is possible that he could achieve demon apotheosis like Ganon did and assume the Demon King title that way.
@@sowietdoge6259 But, couldn't the goddesses's dialogues be like a prerecorded message of some kind which they left behind within the mortal realm for Zelda to listen to while they continue to watch over the world from "the Heavens"? How do you know the "Void of Chaos" from which Bellum seemingly hails from is the very same one from which Demise (and Null apparently) also originates and not a _parallel_ Void of Chaos *specifically* connected to the World of the Ocean King dimension very much like the Sacred Realm and Twilight Realm are specifically connected to Hyrule's dimension? I can't see why the use of a set of words magically means it is the exact same place across several parallel realms/dimensions when Majora's Mask, Phantom Hourglass and A Link between Worlds confirm the existence of parallel realms/dimensions which are completely detached from Hyrule's realm/dimension. Exactly what you said, he was said to have been sealed within that "Dark Realm" you mention, which i'm pretty sure was also mentioned by Onox and Veran in the Oracle games as the place from which they come from, without ever explicitly confirming wether that is the place in which they were born and if it's the same "Void of Chaos" you talk about from which Malladus and Demise (and supposedly Null) originate. Nintendo likes to be darn too ambiguous when it comes to the usage of words, making it difficult for fans both in the West and Japan to have a clear grasp of what the Hell each new term introduced to the series is supposed to be referring to.
@@PatManDX That's because (spoilers)... ... Link's Awakening takes place inside a _dream,_ hence Kirby who lives in _Dreamland_ and Wart who was inside Mario's dream in Super Mario Bros. 2.
Its refreshing to see the roles revered as it is usually Link that saves Zelda. This truly is the legend of Zelda as I don't remember her being the main character before. It is usually Link that does tha saving and the running around Hyrule...and I have called the saga as a joke the Legend of Link because of that😉😁
This ending feels like a recreation of Ocarina of times ending. Zelda has had a companion the entire game that eventually has to go, the difference is that she had a proper goodbye and good ending. Navi left Link without saying anything, Link went to look for his friend and eventually ended up in termina. A place of death.
@@PeakBitty_yo Im guessing that, somehow, this game takes place even before Skyward Sword, like theres no mention of Hylia outside of the names relating to Hyrule Nor the goddess sword(And its evolution the Master Sword), the golden goddesses are still around for another thing plus explaining WHY the world was created.l, and lastly the Triforce wasnt named at all outside of being called the "Prime Energy". So it could very well be that this takes place before even Demise's first attack.
@@PeakBitty_yo Names tend to get forgotten a lot in this series. Gotta remember that Hyrule's history spans an incomprehensibly long span of time. Potentially magnitudes longer than all of Human history. Several tens of thousands of years most likely.
@@PatManDX Judging from the map and links appearance this is the same link from alttp, Oracle of ages and seasons, and links awakening. So the name of the triforce should be pretty well known I mean link was literally told by the triforce itself that it's called the triforce
That part where Link and Zelda worked together to rip the Triforce out of Null's body feels like a callback to the final moments of the final boss of Spirit Tracks, where they had to push together to jam a sword into Malladus' head and finish him off. Neat.
@Nines-qo2ow you see him gesturing as if he's talking after you beat null, implying that defeating null did in fact reverse all the negative effects from the rifts like link was hoping for. There's also an image in the credits where one of the npcs who was bedridden and mute from the rifts is hopping out of bed smiling
I like the way the game expanded on the previous lore and gave us some things we haven't really gotten. The Golden Goddesses actually speaking to us directly for the first time is very cool. There's been so much speculation on if the Goddesses disappeared and left the light world to Hylia or if they even exist at all. But they are still here, stepping in when necessary and just...ignoring Link's urgent phone calls I guess. And the inclusion of Null and the cosmology of it all is very cool. The void of chaos, a darkness before the Goddesses made the world, and where all demons originate. We've known it exists and we have members from it (Demise, Bellum, Majora (I think?)) and it get touched on in a few games like Skyward Sword but we get a lot more of it here.
@@heitormedina7098Well it’s implied that Null is the origins of all darkness and chaos. So in a way, Null could surpass even Majora and be the origins in which Majora was born from. Or it could be that Null is Hyrule’s Majora
Botw : Triforce ❌ Seal power ✅ Totk : Triforce ❌ Power of time and light inherited from rauru and sonia✅ EOW : Triforce❌ Primordial Energy✅ Why nintendo is stubborn about never putting the word triforce in all zeldas since BOTW???
Maybe it’s become a myth so old that no records of what it’s actually called remain. Ganon and his monsters (and whatever villains also strike when Ganon isn’t around) regularly destroying things probably doesn’t help with keeping records of the past.
Huh. Never thought about that. I always thought that the knowledge about the Triforce was this thing every denizens of Hyrule were taught since childhood like a very popular fairytale.
@@Gazing-09We’ve already seen it forgotten before. Like in WindWaker, where the memory was so gone, only one that kinda remembered it were the fish guys, and they called it the Triumph Forks lol
TP refers to it exclusively as the chosen power of the gods relative to the chosen bearers in lieu of its actual name. But to be fair, the Triforce has factually gone by several different monikers throughout the series. Its been referred to as the "True Force", the "Master Force", the "Supreme Power", the "Gods' Legacy", the "Golden Power", etc. "Prime energy" is another addition in an already extensive list.
I like the idea of Null. It's been almost forty years, and we finally have an evil greater than Ganon (or Demise) in the series. It's also neat how he looks like a dark version of Tri and her kind.
Null might be the most terrifying and most powerful villain in a Zelda game. It feels like it's even stronger than TotK's Ganondorf and also far superior to its own Ganon. Ganon's scepter created a villain way worse than he is himself.
Edit to my previous Comment: After a bit of thinking I realized Null might be basically similar to Chaos from Castlevania. Chaos is the Antithesis to God, it is an entity residing in the Chaotic Realm that feasts from the Evil within mankind. It can give certain Individuals the title of Dark Lord and use them kind of as a Puppet to bring Pain and Destruction to Mankind. There were probably many Dark Lords yet none Was more prominent and more Powerful than Dracula. Chaos' Prime Power Source Is the Evil within Humans Once every 100 years the Evil within Humans grows so strong that it allows Chaos to revive Dracula and oppose God and his Followers. Something similar seems to be with Null, it seems to be the Antithesis to the Golden Goddesses. They simply appeared and created the Universe, Null however doesn't like this at all since they invaded his ideal world and so he tries to destroy everything, yet gets stopped by the servants of the Goddesses. He doesnt really seem good or evil unlike villains like Demise, and probably cannot even take Demise down since Demise is literally only weak to holy. Infact I doubt they even have a connection at all since his Demons are just created as Echoes while Demise is l the Origen of these Demons.
I am just so flabbergasted by the fact that so many “ you didn’t know this about echoes of wisdom “ videos have released but the game released 4 days ago and like this guy has already beaten it like chill
I like this legend of Zelda game. Link and Zelda fight side by side in the end. Twilight princess did it too only on horseback where she only shoot arrow of light at Ganondorf. But this one where both of them use all of their abilities to defeat foes while helping each other
as I think of it this is probably a case where the threat simply isn’t connected to the curse; but happens during that cycle anyway, since we already see ganon get beat up at the beginning of the game
Probably in between A Link between Worlds and the original The Legend of Zelda on NES as the geography of this game's Hyrule ressembles that of both A Link to the Past and A Link between Worlds before the kingdom changed shape and became the Hyrule we see in the original TLoZ and Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link.
Honestly, no idea. Most of the game suggests adult timeline to me, but echo Ganon existing suggests downfall. I guess technically Ganon did briefly exist in adult, so that where I'd place the game.
Based on some of the map locations, it may be based on the map of A Link to the Past, so it could take place an indeterminate period after A Link Between Worlds. Ganon has been all but forgotten (he's referred to as a "blue monster"), and even the nature of the Triforce is forgotten, as it's called the "Prime Energy". If you consider Null to be the true source of all evil in Hyrule, it feels like the last Zelda game in a timeline.
In my opinion, while link may be the hero talked in legends, Princess Zelda is the real hero. Yes, link did free her in the beginning, but with tri and the tri rod, she saved the entire existence
Yes it is it’s been released today and that’s why got the game already I spend the money for it and I really like it it’s makes me feel good and happy for myself and I really love GameStop especially my favorites parts of day programs
I do appreciate many aspects of what BOTW and TOTK did, but as much more of a traditionalist fan of the series I simply adored this new Zelda game. I also loved evil Zelda along with plot, which kinda reminds me of the 80s classic film The Neverending Story with whole nothingless aspect as main evil entity. This Princess Zelda starring game was also handle correctly with care, so massive should out towards creators Tomomi Sano and Satoshi Terada ❤
wait until his "all bosses" video releases he uses doesnt spoil the final boss in his "final boss and ending" videos but in his "all bosses" video he does
Poor link captured by Null a fake Zelda now Zelda has to save him. Stop right where you are shouted Zelda let him go or you deal with me. Null never this works is mine drat you two who have spoiled Gannon for many years your not gonna stop me.
This breaks the streak of cool final boss names. It’s like they couldn’t think of anything good, so they left it blank and it got ironically auto-named “Null.”

He is a victim of the void and the thing he lost to escape is his voice yes him being mute is cannon in this game
@Nines-qo2ow you see him gesturing as if he's talking after you beat null, implying that defeating null did in fact reverse all the negative effects from the rifts like link was hoping for. There's also an image in the credits where one of the npcs who was bedridden and mute from the rifts is hopping out of bed smiling
I really like how music is used to tell a story in this game.
26:01 how does the old saying go, Null? "There is no life in the void, only death."
The music on the last stretch of the fight is so good. 💛💛
always nice to see another one of these spooky ass demons floating around the Zelda cosmology
bros gotta have his prime energy
32:27 bro what did link say????
I like the way the game expanded on the previous lore and gave us some things we haven't really gotten.
The Golden Goddesses actually speaking to us directly for the first time is very cool. There's been so much speculation on if the Goddesses disappeared and left the light world to Hylia or if they even exist at all. But they are still here, stepping in when necessary and just...ignoring Link's urgent phone calls I guess.
And the inclusion of Null and the cosmology of it all is very cool. The void of chaos, a darkness before the Goddesses made the world, and where all demons originate. We've known it exists and we have members from it (Demise, Bellum, Majora (I think?)) and it get touched on in a few games like Skyward Sword but we get a lot more of it here.
Who is the most powerful? Null or Majora
@@heitormedina7098Well it’s implied that Null is the origins of all darkness and chaos.
So in a way, Null could surpass even Majora and be the origins in which Majora was born from.
Or it could be that Null is Hyrule’s Majora
Perhaps next they should remake the Zelda Orcale games.
Botw :
Triforce ❌
Seal power ✅
Totk :
Triforce ❌
Power of time and light inherited from rauru and sonia✅
EOW :
Triforce❌
Primordial Energy✅
Why nintendo is stubborn about
never putting the word triforce in all zeldas since BOTW???
Maybe it’s become a myth so old that no records of what it’s actually called remain. Ganon and his monsters (and whatever villains also strike when Ganon isn’t around) regularly destroying things probably doesn’t help with keeping records of the past.
Huh. Never thought about that. I always thought that the knowledge about the Triforce was this thing every denizens of Hyrule were taught since childhood like a very popular fairytale.
@@Gazing-09We’ve already seen it forgotten before. Like in WindWaker, where the memory was so gone, only one that kinda remembered it were the fish guys, and they called it the Triumph Forks lol
TP refers to it exclusively as the chosen power of the gods relative to the chosen bearers in lieu of its actual name.
But to be fair, the Triforce has factually gone by several different monikers throughout the series. Its been referred to as the "True Force", the "Master Force", the "Supreme Power", the "Gods' Legacy", the "Golden Power", etc. "Prime energy" is another addition in an already extensive list.
The Prime Energy is the Triforce, it is the united Omnipotence of the Creator Goddesses, yet it is neither good nor Evil
no way you're already done
I like the idea of Null. It's been almost forty years, and we finally have an evil greater than Ganon (or Demise) in the series.
It's also neat how he looks like a dark version of Tri and her kind.
What a good Zelda game Nintendo made, let it not be repeated
Null might be the most terrifying and most powerful villain in a Zelda game. It feels like it's even stronger than TotK's Ganondorf and also far superior to its own Ganon. Ganon's scepter created a villain way worse than he is himself.
A Link to the Past Ganon can surpass him, he had the Full Triforce and was only limited to his imprisonment
Edit to my previous Comment:
After a bit of thinking I realized Null might be basically similar to Chaos from Castlevania.
Chaos is the Antithesis to God, it is an entity residing in the Chaotic Realm that feasts from the Evil within mankind.
It can give certain Individuals the title of Dark Lord and use them kind of as a Puppet to bring Pain and Destruction to Mankind. There were probably many Dark Lords yet none Was more prominent and more Powerful than Dracula.
Chaos' Prime Power Source Is the Evil within Humans
Once every 100 years the Evil within Humans grows so strong that it allows Chaos to revive Dracula and oppose God and his Followers.
Something similar seems to be with Null, it seems to be the Antithesis to the Golden Goddesses.
They simply appeared and created the Universe, Null however doesn't like this at all since they invaded his ideal world and so he tries to destroy everything, yet gets stopped by the servants of the Goddesses.
He doesnt really seem good or evil unlike villains like Demise, and probably cannot even take Demise down since Demise is literally only weak to holy.
Infact I doubt they even have a connection at all since his Demons are just created as Echoes while Demise is l the Origen of these Demons.
Yeah, and it’s even probably older than Demise!😄🤔🧐
Idk man it looks goofy to me. I don't dig the boss design
@@jinyboi The End in Sonic Frontiers was just a purple moon and everyone loved it
Leaving a like and a comment because you didn’t put spoilers in thumbnail 🫶🏻
Final Boss already that was quick
Thank you so much!
I am just so flabbergasted by the fact that so many “ you didn’t know this about echoes of wisdom “ videos have released but the game released 4 days ago and like this guy has already beaten it like chill
WHY DO MY ZELDA COMPANION'S KEEP LEAVING ME!?
I’ve already beaten many Zelda games but is going back to one next year that’s the minish cap for my 50th birthday I never really explored everything.
I like this legend of Zelda game. Link and Zelda fight side by side in the end. Twilight princess did it too only on horseback where she only shoot arrow of light at Ganondorf. But this one where both of them use all of their abilities to defeat foes while helping each other
Welp, you at least listened to the criticism of spoilery thumbnails
Null seems interesting as it's a dark entity that exist before Demise and his curse from SS. But where do this game fit in the timeline...?
as I think of it this is probably a case where the threat simply isn’t connected to the curse; but happens during that cycle anyway, since we already see ganon get beat up at the beginning of the game
@@sand2067 That Ganon is an Echo.
Probably in between A Link between Worlds and the original The Legend of Zelda on NES as the geography of this game's Hyrule ressembles that of both A Link to the Past and A Link between Worlds before the kingdom changed shape and became the Hyrule we see in the original TLoZ and Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link.
Honestly, no idea. Most of the game suggests adult timeline to me, but echo Ganon existing suggests downfall. I guess technically Ganon did briefly exist in adult, so that where I'd place the game.
Based on some of the map locations, it may be based on the map of A Link to the Past, so it could take place an indeterminate period after A Link Between Worlds.
Ganon has been all but forgotten (he's referred to as a "blue monster"), and even the nature of the Triforce is forgotten, as it's called the "Prime Energy". If you consider Null to be the true source of all evil in Hyrule, it feels like the last Zelda game in a timeline.
Bro, now watch people start to call Zelda "Link" 😂
Just because he's not the protagonist this time doesn't mean we're going to misname Zelda, silly.
They are just dumb if they didnt play the Prologue properly.
8:26 THE ENEMY WAS PRIME ENERGY ALL ALONG????
In my opinion, while link may be the hero talked in legends, Princess Zelda is the real hero. Yes, link did free her in the beginning, but with tri and the tri rod, she saved the entire existence
9:13 “Lets jump him”
Well, That Was Quick.😂
Yes it is it’s been released today and that’s why got the game already I spend the money for it and I really like it it’s makes me feel good and happy for myself and I really love GameStop especially my favorites parts of day programs
32:26 An historical event in Zelda's franchise!
Cool final fight
I knew the Triforce would have some role in this game.
I smiled when link grabbed on with Zelda to get the piece from null it was my favorite part
So. The final fight is a reverse of Spirit Tracks against Bellum?
Malladus you mean? Bellum was in Phantom Hourglass
@@Rubior426 Null looks like Bellam not Malladus.
@@mattpatasnik1195 so you meant Phantom Hourglass, not Spirit Tracks. That's what I was trying to understand.
@@Rubior426 it's a reverse of the Spirit Tracks final battle against the Phantom Hourglass villain.
@@mattpatasnik1195 ok, now it's clear, understood.
18:22 ZELDAS LULLABY.
I do appreciate many aspects of what BOTW and TOTK did, but as much more of a traditionalist fan of the series I simply adored this new Zelda game. I also loved evil Zelda along with plot, which kinda reminds me of the 80s classic film The Neverending Story with whole nothingless aspect as main evil entity. This Princess Zelda starring game was also handle correctly with care, so massive should out towards creators Tomomi Sano and Satoshi Terada ❤
Looks like Prosafia finally learned his lesson
just wait until his all bosses video releases
Zelda:"I''m not Link, I'm Zelda."
Seems like it still retains zelda game vibe, it is a really good thing from developers
Hope this franchise survies long. Long live zeld
Wish at 25:56
ProsafiaSpeedrunning
Link: Zelda you did it
Zelda: Link! *Hugs* i am so gald your okay...i'm gald your alright
Link: Thank you Zelda...for saving me
26:14 wait did they purify null?
They eradicate it; you can see it been melted away as the combined Triforce began to shine brightly following Link and Zelda's wish.
Of course this guy gon do a vid on the final boss just when the game releases ON THE SAME DAY
Sasuga typical ProsafiaGaming!😆🤣😂
I don't even have the game yet and you have reached the final boss!? Seriously? Chill, man.
Did Zelda just step into some Kirby lore?
I prefer to see an update sometime where we could get a choice to play as link during the Null body segment
Same I also hope we could rematch the Secret Bosses in the dojo cause they were fun
Tri leaving Zelda is giving me major Fi vibes from the Skyward Sword ending.
Thanks game, I cried
10:41 Link moonwalk 😮
Null looks cool, but nothing as cool as Ganondorf (not Ganon, i refer to the human form). He remains the perfect villain to me.
Hey, no spoiler thumbnail! Not bad man.
wait until his "all bosses" video releases
he uses doesnt spoil the final boss in his "final boss and ending" videos but in his "all bosses" video he does
I was like OH GOD NO THE ECHO TOUCHED IT! Then seeing what happened I was like oh yea that fail safe kicked in.
Bro doesn’t waste a nanosecond
30:43 Anne and Sprig anyone?
They gotta put the Echo Rod as a weapon for Zelda in the next Smash Brothers 🥴
Mah Boi!
Nah un grande este hombre
Poor link captured by Null a fake Zelda now Zelda has to save him. Stop right where you are shouted Zelda let him go or you deal with me. Null never this works is mine drat you two who have spoiled Gannon for many years your not gonna stop me.
This breaks the streak of cool final boss names. It’s like they couldn’t think of anything good, so they left it blank and it got ironically auto-named “Null.”
Exactly, Null, emptiness and blankness
i mean thanks for not spoiling it
Bro got the game a day earlier
Ayo Link is not fucking around in the final boss fight
Bruh how did you even
BROO CHILL IT JUST RELEASED
Does the game have a secret ending if you don't die like links awakening?
Didn’t even know the game came out
I think link’s awaking have better music and boss fights I think this game is solid and play it. 8/10 in my opinion.
Zelda and the Wand of Gamelon!!
U saved me so much time (:
Judging from the thumbnail, I assume this means the animations from Link's Awakening are used again?
Now THIS is a Zelda game, unlike TOTK.
Wow just a few hours ago, now i know the ending😂
YES FINALLY PLEASE PLAY IT TO 100% WALKTHROUGH!
